 Cn73vr\n\nTopic:\n\nEducation is an integral part of building a career. Th
 ere are many different avenues one can pursue when it comes to education. 
 According to the Census Bureau\, less than half of the adults over the age
  of 25 in America have a college degree (Census Bureau\, 2023). This would
  mean that most will either build a career with non-traditional education 
 resources or settle with lower paid jobs.\n\nA successful career in Techno
 logy highly depends on a decent level of education. Says Sam.\n\nComputer 
 machineries have improved twice as capable each year since the 1960&#39;s (&quot;Mo
 ore’s Law\,&quot; 1965). This would mean that in the 21st century humans will
  experience the equivalent of 20\,000 years of technological progress!\n\n
 This presentation will demonstrate a few ways Sam has expanded on his educ
 ation and continuously contributes to his work. The presentation will also
  demonstrate means by which he has applied the education to real life prob
 lems at work.\n\nPlease join us for this informal workshop and peek into h
 ow a fellow student is applying their education in the real world!\n\nPres
 enter Bio:\n\nSam Droddy is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Software Dev
 elopment with a Specialization in Big Data and Analytics. Sam has worked i
 n the steel industry since 2012 where he was hired as a shop floor employe
 e. He worked as an operator on several machines until he took advantage of
  his company’s education reimbursement program. He began school on the p
 ath to become an Electrical Engineer\, but after securing a position in pr
 oduction analytics\, he changed his degree. He now works in the raw materi
 al department where he refines processes to increase overall yield. He als
 o develops new tools for planning and analytics in his department. Notably
 \, he developed a calculator utilizing Java and Microsoft Excel that calcu
 lates the most efficient way to slit steel coils given the necessary param
 eters. This tool is estimated to save his company approximately $500\,000 
 each year in yield loss!\n\nFor questions contact Branch Secretary Nazila
